Should I work on links to a specific page or site in general?
-
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to have my page rank better for "sell my car Houston".
I'm about to start working on getting links to our site and my question is should I work on getting links to that specific page or would it be OK to just get links to the home page (same seo effect)?
Specific page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com/pages/sell-my-car-in-houston-tx
Home page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com
Thanks!

I would suggest building a very good balance of links between your homepage and the inner page(s). Do not just build links to one of your internal pages. For example, you could/should probably have some incoming links to your http://www.motorsonwheels.com/vehicles / Inventory page as well. Similar, any other pages/sub-pages that make sense.
Let's say Honda came up with a new model of a car, you could potentially do an information article on your page, maybe a press release etc with a link to your check our Honda ABC Inventory, Buy Honda Used Cars in Houston, Houston Car Finance, Houston Used Car Finance and so on.
I hope this helps and ignites some thoughts :).

Hi Nash,
I have checked your ranking. Currently your home page is on 40th position for "sell my car Houston" so my advice is to build some quality backlinks for inner page. Apart from it, I have check you are listed locally in Houston you have 3 Google reviews also, try to get more reviews from customers it will help you in ranking locally.

If you want to rank with a specific page for a product you should try to build links for it. Your homepage will gain some value from that links, too. Hope that helps. Cheers from Germany Sven

I n order to increase the Page Rank of the website i guess there should be link on the home page as well as links on the specific pages...but the point to consider is that quantity of links might not help you in this case but you should consider quality links pointing back to your site...

Should I create new content or outreach for links for a specific KW?
A few keywords my company would like to go after are: Mobile homes for sale Manufactured homes Mobile Home Dealers. The question is should we create unique content around these keywords then market it heavily in hopes to rank that new individual page / post OR should we just be doing outreach for back links and anchored text to link to our primary domain that is already much stronger with a 38 DA? Thoughts?

Google isn't recognizing links to my site. help
I recently changed my domain name and i see on moz that NOTHING is linking to my current domain (even though I have changed all of my links to go to my current domain name). My domain authority remains higher with my old domain name. I do have my old domain linking to my current site. Should I worry about this? How can i get google to recognize the link changes?

Accidentally generated navigation links that point to American site from Australian site.
Somehow we ended up getting hundreds-of-thousands of links coming from our .au (Australia site) to our .com (America site). We believe that something happened during a change that turned a handful of our example.com.au navigational and footer links into back links pointing to example.com and sub-domains of the American version. We are currently fixing this, but we are wondering if this could potentially be problematic in terms of a penguin penalty due to an unnatural linking campaign or back link scheme. Could this error create major problems for us in the near future if we have corrected the issue? Your thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

How do sites have so many 'total links'?
I've been analyzing some of our competitors: essayedge.com and papercheck.com Both sites have a large number of 'total links'... about 93,000 each. The former has about 1,200 linking root domains while the latter only has 195. Even for 1,200 linking root domains, 93k total links seems like a ton to me. Our site has 101 linking root domains and only 299 'total links'. I'm quite new to this whole SEO game and admittedly still learning a TON. Am I missing something here? How do sites generate so many links? This seems nuts to me. Thanks for any help!

When searching for high quality links, in a niche area such as real estate, does page rank factor into a search or is page / domain authority the most important factor?
After having employed many different methods for finding good link partners I am now finding it more difficult to reach out and identify good quality links for a niche area such as real estate. Does page rank factor into the search much or is it better to focus on page / domain authority as a major factor?
